I love how much recognition Porcupine Tree have been getting over the past 7 years or so (especially in Europe), beginning with In Absentia. I think they're probably as big as they're going to get at this point, but that's still pretty damn good. They are amazing.

I used to be a lot more metal. Doom and sludge all the way.
Nowadays it's ska and blue beat that make my bones shake.
I still have a weak spot for:
Mad Capsule Markets.
Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine.
Merzbow. <3 <3
Electric Wizard.
Boris.
13teen.
I find the problem with metal is too many of the every day people I meet who *really* like metal are dirty fucking racists.
Not all, not even most, probably not even 1/10 but just a large enough percentage to notice a trend.
It might be a local thing to my town but it just seems almost every ****MALE**** metaller I meet IRL has no problem extolling the virtues of white power or at best uses casual racism which "doesn't mean anything" for humour.
Has anyone else found this in metal social circles?

To an extent, yes. But many of the shows I go to have a decent following of many non-caucasian metalheads. A lot of newer bands have band members with an ethnic minority in them - so to be racist and love a band with someone like that in it is kind of pointless and stupid. But then again, a lot of guys feel like that about female lead singers in metal groups, so its not just racism, its sexism too.
On another note:
This thread made my day! I love seeing so many girls into harder music..lol! I told my fiance about this thread and I was like, "SEE!? A lot of girls that are make-up addicts aren't JUST into make-up! There's a bunch of metalheads too!"
My list varies, but I like my industrial metal the most. Anything that I can club and DANCE to [properly, not a throw down bang-fest] is what I like. I mostly listen to Killswitch, Manson, Korn, Mushroomhead, Suicide Silence, Hatebreed, Five Finger Death Punch, etc. It varies a lot.
And yes, I totally agree that certain bands listed before "aren't metal" - but to be honest, like someone else said, the genre's and sub-genres mesh and overlap so much, its hard to give a band its proper title.
I think to most, "Metal music" simply implies HARDER music haha.
I know people who will argue 'til they're blue in the face about how much this band or that band sucks because they "aren't metal". Or how you'ree stupid for thinking that "thats metal". DUMB!

Re: Metal Fans \m/
I was really into metal during my teen years. I still am, but not to the extent I was when I started.
My favorites include: Opeth (love this band, favorite of all time), acid bath, death, emperor, at the gates, agalloch, bloodbath, testament, and windir.
And I totally understand the whole metal fans = bunch of racists thing. Not all of them, but I've met a few going to metal shows, and with me being a tiny asian girl...well there were some problems. But on the other hand, a bunch of them are super nice too. It might just be because I'm in the bay area though, and there's generally a better acceptance of diversity.
There's this weird sense of unity in the metal community I think, I have an Opeth sticker on the back windshield of my car and I get a lot of drivers pulling up next to me or risking their lives doing ridiculously risky driving behavior trying to catch up to me...just to flash me the metal horns.

I find that most of the bands other people classify as metal is either too hard for me or just not my cup of tea entirely. However I LOVE power metal. The guys (or girls but I like guy singers better
) usually have amazing voices which is a big part of it for me. Some of my favorites are:

- Sonata Arctica
- Axxis
- Rage
- Hammerfall
- Edguy (and Tobias Sammet's Avantasia project)
- Korpiklaani (more of a folk metal but heck they are amazing)
- Dragonforce
- Nightwish
- Sabaton

I totally get what you mean!! I get the nod from goths on an almost daily basis. Metallers don't pin me as one of thier tribe very often.
I guess it's fairly visible which side of that fence I sit on, with my Joy Division T-shirt.
A bit off topic, but has anyone here noticed how image competative goths (among thier own kind) are compared to metallers?
Does anyone else here have a soft spot for really rough DnB metal remixes?? I'm HOOKED on shitmatt atm.<3

Wellll I'm not one for metal that much but I listen to punk and it's similar so I'll post anyways. And no, not "good charlotte" and "blink 182" for anyone who is not punk savvy. Stuff like Disorder, Discharge, Subhumans, Mau Maus, etc.
I DO like a genre called "crust punk" that's basically if metal and punk had a baby. I'd say it's comparable to Death Metal, bands like Dystopia, Hellshock... I'm also liking black metal alot lately too.
My best friend is way way wayyy into hair metal and buttrock so none of that for me! It's too outrageous for me.
And I too am SO GLAD that there are makeup addict ladies here who are into some more underground music, I thought I was the only one! Everyone else seems to love stuff like Lady Gaga which is just not for me.

Haha I saw Blink 182 live for a friend, they were dreadful, foul mouthed (considering the average audience member was an 11 yr old with mum) and the crowd kept undercrushing people. We went to the ambulance tent because the girl I was with had an athsma (is that right?) attack and it was full of CHILDREN (10 to 14) who had been pushed under or hurt by the crowds.
I recall my outrage when Kerrang had "Battle of the PUNK GODS blink182 VS Greenday" on the cover. I gave up on modern popular punk then. I quite like older punk like snuff and the almighty. Oh and The Negatives!! <3<3<3
How do you guys feel about Pink Floyd? (I know it's a slightly off genre band, but I'm curious. ) Spout your feelings on this one please.

Was it some sort of fest that happened at? Theres this thing called "warped tour" here in the US that has tents and numerous modern pop-punk bands and alot of the show goers are younger as well. I've never gone but I've heard of the younger crowd getting crushed too, its ridiculous!
And I love Pink Floyd! I do have a soft spot for them, great stoner music. My parents listened to mostly classic rock and that was about it as I was growing up, so I was raised off that music. That's all I listened to until I met my first "boyfriend" introduced me to the world of punk when I was 13 and I've been hooked since.
